Anyone trying to make LARGE amounts of money on this, should not try to sell to the end user (1 mask per person, etc) but rather to companies…
And that’s why Linkedin is more powerful than all other social platforms…
If you’re not using Jarvee with Linkedin yet, then you should…
Any recommendations for platforms to invest on?
@HenryCooper can you please provide pointers as to where to find reliable suppliers of those items?
A Chinese sourcing agent I reached out to said it’s impossible to source masks there because Chinese gov banned exporting masks and the short supplies, high prices, etc.
a Chinese friend just reached out to me. usually his factory produces fake luxury bags but now the are only doing masks…
A Vice President sourcing suppliers on LinkedIn 
Same here in Australia. Wonder if it’s possible for us to sell toilet paper we bulk buy from Ali express lol
No one here even considers the ethics of such actions, taking advantage of a global crisis for profit?
Sorry, but there are a thousand ways to make money, especially if you are proficient at online marketing. Each person should weigh their moral conscience to ask how low they would be willing to stoop to make a buck. My IM business is still doing perfectly fine and we aren’t taking advantage of anyone.
Just my two cents
the world needs more people like you
@BruceSilduk Just go with local advertising. Considering current prices even paying premium for advertisement will give you still good results.
The thing is, the demand is fueled by “stupidity”. It’s like saying let’s stop selling courses, books, ebooks or any other educational material because we know 99% of the customers won’t be able to change their life based on it. Or are you selling a social service to someone, knowing that this person will never get famous and earn a living of their social presence?
Should Amazon and all the other eCommerce portals remove hand sanitizer that has less than ~60-70% alcohol? Yes. Are they doing it? No. Maybe they should even ban them for now.

People are buying non-sealed layer-3 masks and think they are now protected from getting infected by Covid-19, while their main purpose is being carried by people that are actually already infected.
As you can see, you cannot protect people from being stupid. And if moral code is the norm, then it should be done from the beginning to the end, otherwise, it is plain hypocrisy. Having a smartphone? If yes you are supporting child labour in mines (cobalt mineral).
I understand your point and it is proven that masks do nothing to help protect from a virus. But I guess it’s just a decision about where each of us stands morally and whether we want to take advantage of the same stupidity, especially during a crisis. As far as your other comparisons, two (or more) wrongs never make a right.
There are so many ways to make money so if people are resorting to this I genuinely hope it’s because they haven’t had success trying other things and have no choice but to take advantage of a crisis in order to avoid a job flipping burgers at McDonalds.
Because as far as I see it there are always other options.
So 45% of the population in this world is evil or bad because they own a smartphone? Being uninformed does not free you from “guilt”. Only because you “need” it or “others have it too”, does not make it any better. While I wish for a fair world - even tho I think most of the people cannot grasp what that would mean to their lifestyle, which is built upon suffering - it is naive to think that way.
People always speak about upholding their morals or want a world without war and murder, but if it affects their “luxuries” and “comfort” suddenly, it is not so important anymore. I would literally need to live in the forest and not buy anything from anyone, not visit a doctor, etc. to be free from a big percentage of guilt. And even then I will probably to something bad to nature in the process.
“There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt”
You are acting as though morality is black or white and drawing some pretty extreme absolutes by saying people are completely bad for owning a smartphone.
The reality is that life is a gray area. Morals are based on our subjective view of what is right and wrong, and all of us belong to certain shades of gray somewhere between the spectrum of black and white. Some of us are a light gray, some a dark gray, and others are truly black which all the others condemn as “evil”
I’m saying that this is definitely something that falls in the “dark gray” area.
As a doctor, i can tell you it does help … Stop spreading BS when you don’t know physiopathology and natural disease story please. Masks helps to prevent from being affected, thus reducing the %sick people (eventho it’s not an immunity of course).
That said, i don’t sell masks and don’t plan on selling any
LOL okay I don’t see your justification that I’m “spreading BS” when I’m literally citing Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2020/02/29/no-you-do-not-need-face-masks-for-coronavirus-they-might-increase-your-infection-risk/
What type of doctor are you? Here’s a quote from the article:
Even if there are cases next door, the answer is no, you do NOT need to get or wear any face masks—surgical masks, “N95 masks,” respirator masks, or anything else—to protect yourself against the coronavirus. Not only do you not need them, you shouldn’t wear them, according to infection prevention specialist Eli Perencevich, MD, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa’s College of Medicine.
“The average healthy person does not need to have a mask, and they shouldn’t be wearing masks,” Dr. Perencevich said. “There’s no evidence that wearing masks on healthy people will protect them. They wear them incorrectly, and they can increase the risk of infection because they’re touching their face more often.”
Can you provide us more information? Because as @dandanflood pointed out, there is quite some reputable organizations (WHO for example), that seem to draw a different picture.
This as simple as the contagious particule size of the virus ; they’re big enough to be stopped by the mask. I’m not talking about “healthy” people, or the fact that some users don’t “wear masks the right way” as quoted,
I’m saying that the mask reduce any kind of big particule air transmission virus ; we use this shit every day for the same particule size infection diseases. Being smart isn’t needed for this, you can read Forbes or whatever, better search Pubmed and search there.
If we talk don’t about physiopathology of TRANSMISSION, but in a more general way like they do (“healthy”, “bad usage of masks”), healthy and young people are not at risk compared to old or weakened ones. I’m in an hospital everyday and the ones who die aren’t below 60 unless they’re weak or with complexe evolved diseases already.
But do not say “masks never protected against this”. This is just not true 
My personal apprehension towards this opportunity is that I’m greedy and to me more sick people means more money, which means I would be rooting for more sick people and more media fear mongering.
I don’t care about the morality of it, we’re all walking contradictions.
